Neck Grasp Predicts Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Peter J EdmondsKulothungan GunasekaranL C EdmondsPublished in: Sleep disorders (2019)
This study reinforces the need for screening diabetic persons for obstructive sleep apnea. ESAP and neck circumference are useful for identifying persons with type 2 DM who are at risk for OSA. Together these findings could improve recognition of OSA in persons at risk for cardiovascular disease. Trial Registration of "Neck grasp as a predictor of Sleep Apnea," https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02474823, Clinical Trials.gov Identifier, is NCT02474823.
